Welcome back to another session of Thinking<br />

<strong>for</strong> A Change. Be<strong>for</strong>e we introduce a new<br />

social skill, let’s briefly review the last skill we<br />

identify when another person is angry and to<br />

react to that person by expressing your<br />

thoughts and feelings, without hurting<br />

yourself or others.<br />

Can I have a volunteer read the skill steps <strong>for</strong><br />

us?<br />

angry; Try to understand what the angry<br />

person is saying and feeling; Ask the other<br />

person to explain anything you don’t<br />

understand; Show that you understand why<br />

the other person feels angry; In a pro-social<br />

way, express your thoughts and feelings about<br />

the situation.)<br />
